Burly's
Angler's Dream, Classic Burley Kake, Scotty's Butternut Burley, and Beverwyck (all from P&C) are some I enjoy regularly. If you like deer-tongue (herb) then add in H&H Old Tartan and C&D Gentleman Caller. In the classics corner, can't forget Granger or Half&Half (Lane version).- pipewife

Canned Tobacco Questions
rothnh - it's overtrained, not overthought here. I understand Josh's impulse as I also learned FOOD canning first. We were trained to do something to the jars to make those lids "pop" down within the first 24 hours ... or something failed. It just feels wrong to screw on the lid and set it on...- pipewife

Canned Tobacco Questions

Tobacco Suggestions
Ghosting is when the smell/flavor soak into the pipe and can be detected even when you change tobacco. Thirty-two of the 34 estate pipes I bought in one lot had a stinky and persistent ghost, even the two cobs. The good news is that aromatics will kick out a previous ghost to set up residence...- pipewife
